Jul 25, 2008 2008 750ml. Nice looking redish brown. Good head, laced my glass well. Fruity nose, enjoyable palate. Very very brown sugar flavor at first. After it came up to temp. the flavors blended better. Very Belgium. Clean finish.

Jul 15, 2008 Blah. This is a typical over the top hot Belgian beer. Probably would be a lot better with a year or two on it. Aroma was huge. Vinuous backbone with sweet caramel malt and alcohol jumping out. Pour was a decent murky brown with no bubbles and a one finger tan head. Taste was too hot and strong. Strong Vicks Vapo-Rub, caramel malt intertwined with hot alcohol and little carbonation.

Jul 14, 2008 This beer rocks. It’s got everything a strong, brown ale should have. The right balance of flavor, alcohol, sweetness and body that makes a Belgian strong ale totally drinkable.

Jul 11, 2008 750ml 2007 bottle, best before March 28, 2017. Pours murky dark brown with virtually no head in a Trappist glass. Lacing is sparse, but clingy. The aroma is sweet and fruity, very well balanced, and quite strong. Notes of berries, coriander, grape are all apparent. It’s quite juicy and devoid of any alcohol burn in the nose. Mouthfeel is lively and prickly with a sticky fig sweetness highlighted by spiced notes. Some earth, grape, graham crackers, berries, and a little heat are found in the complex flavor. I really enjoy the way this one comes together.

Jul 6, 2008 Wasn’t sure what to expect here. Poured a deep ruby/brown color with a fairly small white head. Initial aroma was almost pure cherries, my wife said it reminded her of cherry cough syrup. The flavor was more complex than that though. The cherries were certainly at the forefront, but there were hints or raisins, sugar, malt, and just the barest hop hint. This was a fun one to taste just because of all the different flavors that made themselves apparent throughout the beer.
